I just wanted to point out a few more things about the financial stocks right now (data through the middle of June) …
First, there were 27 INCREASES year to date. Clearly, some companies are still finding money they can kick out to shareholders.
Second, 19 issues were yielding more than 5% vs. NONE at the same time last year. While questions remain about dividend security, yield-hungry investors do have more choices these days.
Third, four financials were yielding more than 10%. And you know what, I’m recommending one of them right now! I’d give you the name, but that wouldn’t be fair to my Dividend Superstars subscribers.
Suffice it to say that aggressive investors can find good risk-reward scenarios if they look hard enough.
